Training programmes on the management of dysfunctional behaviour in learning disability services. "Challenging"
behaviour can be the result of many factors. It is often "functional"
and generally achieves
important needs for the challenging person. However, the stresses
imposed by such behaviours can result in unhelpful perceptions of, and
responses to, the challenging person. CALM programmes help health,
education and care
services to understand the complexities of such behaviours, and to assess
and understand the underlying needs, which can then be addressed through the
promotion of alternative, constructive behaviours. |
